Texts translated into English by Benedek Bartha

Longchen Rabjam

In this oft-cited vajra song, Longchen Rabjam employs a series of metaphors to encourage practitioners to renounce ordinary concerns and cultivate the practice of Dzogchen meditation.

This vajra song employs a series of metaphors—the rising sun, brilliant moon, a total eclipse, and the wish-fulfilling jewel atop a banner of victory—to explain the benefits of advanced realization.

Taken from the collection of Longchen Rabjam's vajra songs, this is a joyful declaration of realization and accomplishment.
